it is defective

question: What could cause pieces of plastic to fall off despite the user using the spatula correctly?, context: You can do all sorts of things with a CALPHALON NLYON TURNER (aka spatula): flip hamburgers, scrape grease off the bottom of a skillet, turn over pancakes on the stove, make a miniature trebuchet, fling food across a room, and pretend to sword fight with someone else in the kitchen who has a plastic spoon. This CALPHALON NYLON TURNER works great for any of these things and many other activities not mentioned for brevity sake. Occasionally someone might have an issue with a nylon turner with pieces of the plastic falling off. This means either one of three things: it is defective, you are pressing two hard while cooking/scraping skillets, or you are using this device in a substance and temperature that it was not designed. If it's defective, you should ask for a refund or exchange, but if you press too hard or use it in a substance and temperature that it was not designed to be used in, that's your own fault. My only complaint about this particular device is that it is a bit pricey.

frozen, just making a very loud humming noise

question: What happened to the motor on the sixth use?, context: Over the course of about 14 months, I used this juice about 6 times. Was quite please with it for the first 4 times - provided nice juice, little pulp, looked nice, and easy to clean.However, as so many other reviews indicated, the motor burned out after this light use. On use number 5, the motor became noticeably louder. On use number 6, the motor frozen, just making a very loud humming noise.TIP - on the last use, I was able to complete a about 10 more limes by using my hand to turn the cone a little, which then allowed the motor to unfreeze and start spinning the cone. So long as I kept pressure on the cone when switching to new limes, the motor kept spinning. After my hands slipped a few times, the motor froze forever.I would have given this at least 4 stars if it didn't suffer from severe quality issues. However, even at $25 per unit, it added $4 per use to the cost of my fresh orange / lime juice. Would be better off going to my local dinner and ordering their fresh juice.

an economical coffee maker

question: What kind of coffee maker have I always had?, context: I have always had an economical coffee maker like the Black and Decker DCM2500 but lately I have had to buy one after another, trying different brands each time. This one makes good coffee, just right temp, love the auto shut-off feature and is easy to fill. My problem is with the burner plate. It has been burning through and now rusting since we got it. The carafe has rust spots (I have a hard time removing)in the 2 places it sits over. The maker still works but I am worried it will catch fire or bust the glass carafe if not replaced. So I give it a 3 star rating. Not the worst I have ever had but not worth the money if I have to continually replace them. I am going with a new coffee maker that costs 3 times as much but maybe it will last at least 3 times longer.

purifier

question: What kind of item was the customer writing a review for?, context: I read all of the previous reviews. My research said this was the best item.I have used it for a month. Prefilter had 1/16" of dust on it. The inner filters had very little accumulation. It does better than the name brand tabletop that claims to do a 30' x 30' room. Maybe I expect too much. Will monitor the purifier and advise later if I see noticeable improvement. I am within the parameters listed by manufacturer for the size room purifer to be used in. The problem I am dealing with is dust created by the hot air heating system. The room in question is at the end of the system and deposits dust instead of the air and dust going to the return vents. The furnace is not strong enough. I expect to update this review later.

the cord

question: What aspect of the kettle will always bother the reviewer?, context: The kettle is very nice, well designed & heats the water quickly. However, I'm returning it because of the cord. It's very heavy utilitarian black (3/8&#34; diameter) and there's no way to conceal it in the base. It really detracts from the sleek look of the kettle, and there's no spot in my kitchen where it doesn't look bad. Maybe it makes it safer electrically, but I don't have any other small appliances with so heavy a cord. I'm probably being overly fussy, but I just think the cord will always bother me, so I'm packing it up to return.

taking hot dishes to work or other events

question: What is it good for?, context: I bought this crock pot for my wife when I saw the TV commercial with the locking lid. That part is very cool. However, I didn't look much closer. This crock pot doesn't have any whistles or bells. There's just a knob with three temperature settings. I suppose that's all that matters though.I like the size and quality of this cooker. The crockery insert is well made and seems very durable.The locking lid is really a nice touch. It's really convenient for taking hot dishes to work or other events. You need to be careful to seat the lid just right before you latch it. Give it a slight twist back and forth to make sure it's straight. Then after you secure both latches, try to twist the lid again. If it moves much, unfasten the latches and make sure the seal is clean and then latch it again. The lid has a nice seal that should prevent leakage when it's latched.Just remember not to over-fill it. It's human nature to over-fill a crock pot. You just keep adding ingredients until nothing more will fit. Try to resist this temptation, especially if you're taking the pot "to go".And if mobility really is important to you, check out thisCrock-Pot SCBAG Travel Bag for 7-Quart Slow Cookers, Black.

electric knife

question: what product is the writer reviewing?, context: I use this knife mostly to cut bread: both bagels and homemade sourdough.On the plus side, it makes very thin, smooth and even slices out of the bread.But on the negative side, the safety switch which shuts it off when you don't keep steady pressure on the on/off switch is maddening! In my case, this happens most of the time when I'm cutting super-crunchy, crusty Artisan bread loaves.I'm finding it really awkward to both press down on the knife and keep pressure on the trigger lock.It definitely lacks power, too,The carrying case & meat fork is a nice touch, though.I'll keep looking for an electric knife with a more powerful motor.

smaller bits of the loose leaf

question: Which one mixed with the water?, context: I got this to use with various loose-leaf teas from Teavana, as I was tired of needing to use the french press every time I wanted some. It works well enough, but the seal isn't very tight and as a result some of the smaller bits of the loose leaf made it into the water. Luckily, it settles at the bottom after a while, but it's still a little annoying. It's still usable, and it might be the case that this specific tea was a little finer than the ball was made for, so I'll be keeping it around regardless.

pulling out impurities in the water

question: What does it do a great job at?, context: I bought this product a while ago! However, I just want to let people know, I really like it. I bought it to filter water through my emergency 5-gal bucket water storage contraption. Thank you, Youtube! Anyway, it does a great job of pulling out impurities in the water, and the result tastes great. In an emergency situation, like if there was flooding and possible viral water contamination, I might still boil the water to kill anything that miraculously slipped through the small pores of this candle, but otherwise, I would drink it straight after the filter. It takes out ALL sediment, so you will not be drinking any floaties. If the water was really dirty, I would pre-filter it through sand or cloth first before running it through this though. It is a fine filter, and would clog if challenged with too much debris.This filter required patience. Water doesn't pour through ceramic. However, that's why it works so well.Hint: I purchased two of these, and one was filtering water at a much slower rate that the other. So, I dried it out completely, sanded it down gently, and rinsed/wiped it down before reinstalling it. Worked so much better! I think that this process would be good as maintenance if the filter was used regularly.

What does it do a great job at?

Anyway, it does a great job of pulling out impurities in the water , and the result tastes great.

I bought this product a while ago! However, I just want to let people know, I really like it. I bought it to filter water through my emergency 5-gal bucket water storage contraption. Thank you, Youtube! Anyway, it does a great job of pulling out impurities in the water, and the result tastes great. In an emergency situation, like if there was flooding and possible viral water contamination, I might still boil the water to kill anything that miraculously slipped through the small pores of this candle, but otherwise, I would drink it straight after the filter. It takes out ALL sediment, so you will not be drinking any floaties. If the water was really dirty, I would pre-filter it through sand or cloth first before running it through this though. It is a fine filter, and would clog if challenged with too much debris.This filter required patience. Water doesn't pour through ceramic. However, that's why it works so well.Hint: I purchased two of these, and one was filtering water at a much slower rate that the other. So, I dried it out completely, sanded it down gently, and rinsed/wiped it down before reinstalling it. Worked so much better!

three to four hours

question: How long do the oats cook?, context: WELCOME TO MY COOKING LABOATMEAL: I ordered this slow cooker specifically for making my Irish steel cut oatmeal, for which it is perfect. It cooks the oats in three to four hours on low. If I have pre-ground the oats in my mini processor first, they cook more quickly than otherwise. To pre-grind all one needs do is pulse the oats two or three times in your mini food processor. Right now, I use 2/3 of a cup of oats with a dash of salt to slightly less than 3 cups of water. I taste for doneness at around 3 hours of cooking on low. I serve my cooked oatmeal with Vermont maple syrup, warmed, reduced-fat milk and topped with a few thawed berries or fresh fruit.OATMEAL: The oatmeal that I use is in a newly-opened can of McCann's Irish steel cut oatmeal. I store an opened can in a tightly sealed container in the fridge, and use it up pretty quickly.CROCKERY INSERT: The white crockery insert has handles extending beyond the two sides of the top of the cooker. The handles make it easy to grasp the hot crockery and remove it from the cooker, but you must use oven mitts before grasping the hot handles of the crockery to avoid burning your fingers. Because the bottom of the crockery is rough and could scratch the counter top, I keep a good-sized trivet next to the cooker when I am ready to remove the crockery.COVER: The cover has a tightly sealed black gasket around the bottom which prevents the water from seeping out of the slow cooker. When you lift the cover to test for doneness, the many water droplets that have accumulated at the underneath of the cover are very hot, so avoid burning yourself or your counter tops.

pop up lid

question: What kind of lid does it have?, context: I guess I don't have to add much here considering all the excellent reviews on this bottle. Everyone has managed to say what I would have said. So I'll just reiterate on what is most important and that's quality. This is a very sturdy, solid feeling bottle which does everything as described in the ad. It does not sweat, it does not leak, it is easy to clean, the opening is wide enough to add ice and it sure keeps liquids icy cold for a very long time. I take mine to bed with some ice in water; 12 hours later the ice is pretty much the same size and of course, the water is still icy cold. I love the pop up lid and the flow of liquids from the opening is wonderful. I ordered three, then ordered the 22 ounce bottle and about to order a second one now. This will come in handy for my little grandson when on trips this summer. I'm impressed and very, very pleased! Excellent product.

toaster

question: What did I buy?, context: I like this toaster. Much of what others have said is true though. It doesn't brown that evenly... and so on. Still it might be the only LONG and WIDE slot toaster available at a reasonable price. I mostly toast long slices of sour dough bread. True, it sometimes burns at the ends but you get what you pay for. I bought mine at Target 5 years ago and it's still going strong. The down-catch got sticky and I started looking for a new toaster, so I'm glad I found this offering to have my positive say. BTW, the catch freed up and is fine now.

paper is a little wider than 12"

question: What is the difference in size between parchment paper and Reynolds?, context: As most bakers know, parchment paper makes clean up after baking a whole lot easier. It also helps with the "black bottom" syndrome I used to see in my biscuits and cookies. When it comes time to purchase parchment paper, I'll be back for this one again. The paper is a little thinner than the box of Reynold's that I bought, but it still works as well and saves a LOT of money to boot! Some other reviewers have mentioned that it is only 165 feet instead of 205. This is correct, yet incorrect. The roll contains 165 lineal feet and 205 square feet. The difference is that the paper is a little wider than 12". Please don't let the numbers confuse you. This box is exactly as claimed.

. It is heavy and very floppy, so it can be difficult to stand it on it's side

question: Why is the mattress difficult to stand on it's side?, context: The fact that it came undamaged after being compressed and folded to fit into a rather small box says a lot about the quality of the springs. I bought it to use with this frame http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005WXO984/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc;=1 and it fits perfectly.The mattress is firm but not too hard, very comfy. I don't understand what some reviewers are talking about when they say it's so soft that they sink into it. Two adults who weigh about 290lbs in total have been sleeping on it with no complaints.It is very nice for the price so I'm not going to be too picky. The only cons are:1. The underside of the mattress is a few layers of that cheap reusable grocery bag material. It tore a little bit when I tried to drag the mattress to a different room.2. It is heavy and very floppy, so it can be difficult to stand it on it's side and carry down 2 flights of stairs when we move out.Overall a very good purchase.

6 cup

question: how much water does the kettle heat at once?, context: This tea kettle is heavy for its size so I assume it is not too thin. It doesn't feel flimsy or cheap. It boils enough water at once for my 6 cup tea pot or for ramen and because the kettle is not too big, it boils quick. It really is cute too! I don't think this kettle is any worse quality wise than other more expensive kettles. The handle doesn't get too hot to pick up either, although I have an electric stove I don't know about a gas range. Mine doesn't sputter when boiling. I like that it doesn't take up a lot of space, my old kettle was wide and big and it looked stupid on my stovetop.

small bottle

question: what size bottles do they hold?, context: These were just what I needed!I have a TOUCH of OCD, and ever since Pinterest came into my life I have been trying to figure out how to make my spices look less trashy.

They are the perfect size to hold a small bottle of spices, and they look magnificent!I have half of my spices in a rack on my fridge, and the other half in a drawer (this drawer is NOT large, I live in an apartment where they didn't think to leave a drawer for silverware, if that tells you anything.) These have been amazing!I bought spice labels to go on the jars and they look so classy!Buying these was a perfect decision for me, and I will most likely be buying more in the future as I keep learning more and more recipes!

3-4

question: How long did it take to blend?, context: I put the ice and the margarita stuff in the container, twisted and - I kid you not - about 3-4 seconds later I had a blended margarita. That's the fastest full blend I've ever had. And it stopped on its own for me as well. I did it side by side with the Bella version of this product (which I love) and it is about a second or two faster. The 900 watts shines.I also used this with a smoothie - and here is why I'm only going four stars - and the height of the blades was difficult to use with a full cup. I had to take some of the fruit and ice out to make the base go on. This isn't a problem with other brands. But Ninja always has the blade issue on blenders or these bullet-like devices. I get that it chops great but with the high profile you get smaller cups.I'm super happy with this product and would recommend it in a heart beat for mixing drinks and making smoothies. But if you want to fill the whole cup with smoothie or something harder (like bananas) it doesn't fit.

How long did it take to blend?

I put the ice and the margarita stuff in the container, twisted and - I kid you not - about 3-4 seconds later I had a blended margarita.

I put the ice and the margarita stuff in the container, twisted and - I kid you not - about 3-4 seconds later I had a blended margarita. That's the fastest full blend I've ever had. And it stopped on its own for me as well. I did it side by side with the Bella version of this product (which I love) and it is about a second or two faster. The 900 watts shines.I also used this with a smoothie - and here is why I'm only going four stars - and the height of the blades was difficult to use with a full cup. I had to take some of the fruit and ice out to make the base go on. This isn't a problem with other brands. But Ninja always has the blade issue on blenders or these bullet-like devices. I get that it chops great but with the high profile you get smaller cups.I'm super happy with this product and would recommend it in a heart beat for mixing drinks and making smoothies.

question: How many cups in a standard metal pan?, context: I am a silicone pan convert. I still love my metal pans and continue to buy them like mad, but I'm no longer afraid of the silicone.These are individual muffin or cupcake pans, about the same size as one cavity in a standard 12-cup metal muffin pan. They have lovely large and deep scalloped sides which make the cupcakes or muffins look delightful when popped out of the baking pan. These are cute served with either end up. If you're glazing or serving with a sauce, the smaller end up (bottom) looks great, and if you're frosting them with swirls of fluffy frosting, then serve them in the more traditional manner.I find I need to turn the oven heat down about 25 degrees when cooking in silicone, I bake them on a cookie sheet spaced a few inches apart, and it's important to let the baked items cool in the pans. They will be too tender and soft to come out in one piece if you try to remove them while they are still hot.Brush with melted butter or spritz with non-stick spray for the first use, and it won't be necessary after that. I wash these by hand, just because it's easy, though they are dishwasher safe. They stack nicely and don't take up much space. I probably need a second set!

the price is quite reasonable considering all that you get

question: How is the price in comparison?, context: Good suction, plenty of accessories and reasonably light weight. I'm not going to pretend that it makes vacuuming the house any more pleasurable but it is definitely a lot easier than wrestling with the Dyson, which got nicknamed &#34;The Beast&#34; soon after its arrival. It is also delightful to have a bagged vacuum again that allows me to vacuum the entire house multiple times without having to empty the bag, unlike the Dyson which had to be emptied three times for one cleaning. (I do have three Rottweilers, so we don't lack for hair on the floor). As some others have said, the cord is a trifle short but luckily, I have an abundance of outlets and if that's its biggest flaw, I can't complain too much. I think the price is quite reasonable considering all that you get.

a poster,

question: What product is the reviewer writing about?, context: This is just like any other poster you would buy in the store. I did not have the same experience as Scott did. As far as the text goes, I think it is supposed to be tacky and corny. It's a poster of a hot broad bending over in a fridge for cristsake, not fancy art work! It's a poster, no more no less. If you're a fan of beer and also girls bending over, and have a man cave that needs some 'sprucing up', then this is the poster for you. The poster ships in a regular triangle type box and arrived in a timely manner. Worth buying. Combine with LiquidAss fart spray (which I also reviewed) to create a unique experience.

Half gallon

question: What is the recommended milk container size for these bags?, context: These bags are very roomy and have a place inside on each side to slide a bottle or jar into. Half gallon of milk fits great.Everytime I use them the cashier and baggers comment on how nice they are.They keep everything nice and cold on the drive home. (My drive is about 45 minutes).They also hold way more than the store bags and are VERY sturdy. Nice and thick.The zippers are just a little bit.......not really hard to close, but you do have to take a second or two to get them to slide around.I'm going to get my daughter-in-law some so she doesn't have to keep borrowing mine.

wipe it clean with a wash cloth

question: What are the recommendations for cleaning the shower curtain?, context: pretty cool looking shower curtain, its exactly what I was looking for. We've had it for a month and so far it works great, no issues.Update: Its been 4 months now and part of the shower curtain that rubs against the tub; the print is wearing off. I still like the shower curtain and will continue to use it.Update: Its been almost 7 months now and I threw this away.... its not the fault of the shower curtain, its my own. I threw it in the washer and the fish prints came off. Had I read the washing instuctions (that is NOT listed on the shower curtain!) I would have known to wipe it clean with a wash cloth.

Sistema Klip system

question: What product is being described?, context: I got this because it was a convenient size for the refrigerator for my ground flax seed. I like the way that the Sistema Klip system holds the tops on the containers.However, I haven't used it for flax seed at all.The description doesn't tell you, so I don't know if they still send it: The container comes with a strainer and a clip for it. So, dump in your olives. When you are ready to serve them, pull out the strainer, hang it on the inside of the container for a little and served the olives. When you are done, put the olives back in their juice and you are ready for the next meal.

Scamble up an omelet with saugage on the side

question: What kind of breakfast have you made?, context: Visitors to my kitchen spot this pan and often ask what I use it to do. My answer: "Name it". Sautee some chopped onions before adding in fresh fish or poultry? Check. Scamble up an omelet with saugage on the side? Not a problem. Mix up a batch of cornbread dough, pour it into this pan then pop in the oven? Don't waste my time!It's just a terrific can-do pan that does everything I've dreamed up for it to do, cleans easily, and is ready for more. I've even started a few meat dishes in the pan before finishing them in the oven, that is browning on the stove top and slow roasting or baking in the oven to finish up. If you don't have one of these pans in your kitchen, you need to add it to your collection because you'll wonder, as I have, how you got along without it to this point.

separate pencil cup

question: what can be purchased to go along with the memo center?, context: I had been looking for a magnetic note pad center for quite some time and I just couldn't find one that I really liked. Then I came across the Forma Memo Center and I really liked what I saw. It appeared to be a quality memo center and the stainless steel would match very well with our kitchen and refrigerator. So I immediately purchased both the Memo center and the separate pencil cup. I have to admit that I was really quite surprised when I received them as these really are very high quality pieces. They have a great weight to them and the magnetic backing is more than capable of holding it in place. They also look very nice, much better than I expected them to look. While it looks nice in the picture, it definitely looks much better in person. We have a stainless steel refrigerator so the memo center and pencil cup just blend right in. If your looking for a stainless steel magnetic memo center then you should definitely give this one a look.5 stars!

winter coming

question: Why does the writer want to have hot lunches?, context: I am SO beyond excited to have this. I am in nursing school, which requires a lot of long days and have some classmates who have these. I finally bought one and LOVE it. I do not use microwaves and with winter coming it would be great to have hot lunches. Not to mentions, microwaves are not always available.I was not even thinking, but now I am going to buy a second one. My son has an allergy and cannot buy school lunches. I have always tried to bring him hot lunches when I can, but that is hard to do especially with being in school and working. Now I can send him to school with this with approval from his teacher. He is SO excited. All he has to do is plug this in about 2 hours before lunch and its ready when he is.

Not to mentions, microwaves are not always available.I was not even thinking, but now I am going to buy a second one. My son has an allergy and cannot buy school lunches. I have always tried to bring him hot lunches when I can, but that is hard to do especially with being in school and working. Now I can send him to school with this with approval from his teacher. He is SO excited. All he has to do is plug this in about 2 hours before lunch and its ready when he is.

question: How many washclothes did the author recceive?, context: Cotton washcloths--4 mixed pretty colors as shown & described. Hand washed as they bleed first time it says, but seemed ok to me....will always hand wash, to not subject them to washing machine water turbulence, although should hold up in it. Would re-order if ever needed to, but these are PLENTY and just right for thickness---NOT TOO thick. NOT irregulars....retain shape. No signs after first wash of falling apart. If washcloths ever go bad, will do review update & re-rate stars. I recommend as better than the average washcloth, as very usable for different things and at various locations. Shower-1, Wash basin for face-1, Dry basin & counter-1, Kitchen sink for dishes-1, Dry sink & counter-1 General cleaning of areas-1. Nice for gift. My colors; 3 pink, 3 green, 4 blue, 1 tan (received 11, not 10). No shrinkage. Note; thick/plush ones quite expensive, hard to hold & use, hold too much water/suds, although look great just to show them off, and fluff gives poor scrubbing. Buy, as good price. YES, ribbon nice touch. Exactly right for me.

I didn't purchase it through amazon

question: Did the reviewer buy the product through Amazon?, context: I have this floormate although I didn't purchase it through amazon. In my case it is a good product because with two dogs my floors get heavy traffic/petstains/hair/dirt tracking. I was previously using a rag mop which takes a lot of exertion and dreading on my part. This unit seems to pick up a lot of filth that mopping alone doesnt do as even when my floors looked clean the bin was filled with dirty water. If I could change some things I would have them lower the brushes a little, it doesn't always get the grout especiially the first time around, my solution for this is to spray cleaner onto the floor before to loosen up dirt and get everything wet before using the machine. I think that the bins should also be larger for both the solution dispenser and the dirty water collector, often times I haven't even finished one room before I have to refill the solution. I would also love it if the unit could scrub and vacuum the liquid seperately instead of at the same time. If you don't have pets and clean your floors regularly a simple spray mop would probably be more convenient or you might want to purchase something like this just to make sure that you truly wash away all the dirt every now and then.

not overly loud

question: Is it quiet?, context: I am trying to do what I can to keep allergy free so this is another product in that effort. After experiencing a bad bout of sinus issues last year I bought this and other cleaning tools to eliminate dust and other stuff that is floating in the air. So far the regimen is working but I am not sure how much this contributes to the overall effect since this is not in a busy area of the house. I will say that it is not overly loud but it does make some noise (more like white noise). Overall I am happy with purchase and the product is still going strong.

1/4/14

question: When did they give an updated review?, context: These lids are THICK compared to others & the price was more reasonable. They work & I feel I got my money's worth. I just wish there were more sizes avail.Update 1/4/14 - When I went to remove a regular lid for one of my pans from my shelf, one of these blue lids was stuck to it. I pulled the two lids out, and the blue "silicone" lid had to be peeled off, thus leaving some of the "silicone" stuck onto my pan lid. Hmmm, it makes me wonder if these Rachel Ray lids are very good after all. I checked thru the description & can't find the word "silicone" so maybe they're not. I'm calling the mfr for warranty & will update review.

short and simple

question: How did the reviewer describe the instructions?, context: There is going to be more blending happening at my house! This blender is aces. Simple to operate, and really gets the job done well and fast. The container holds 64 ounces, so you can make smoothies for more than one person at a time if you want to.It's so simple, a high/low switch and an on/off switch. The instructions are short and simple, too. It very likely will be the last blender we'll ever need!I had given up on blenders because they were complicated and failed quickly. Too much to figure, and too easy to go wrong. So I love this one!

one side of the base pops out

question: What happened first while trying to put the top on the base?, context: The flimsy construction made set up a nightmare. It should have taken 10 minutes, instead it took 30. The float for the cut off switch is a flimsy plastic rod stuck in a chunk of Styrofoam. Lining it up with the switch in the top almost had me screaming in frustration, mostly due to the flimsy construction of the base. The plastic is so thin it flexes at the slightest touch, which created the following sequence: Try and put the top on the base and first one side of the base pops out, get that side in and the back pops out, get the back in and the other side pops out , get the base all lined up and on and the float rod isn't lined up with the switch, take the top off and start all over again, continue ad nauseam...Then get every thing lined up, fill with water, turn it on and find out the fan is broken, return.

this spoon rest works well.

question: Where should this spoon rest be placed?, context: If you have a smaller spoon -- say a teaspoon or tablespoon -- this spoon rest works well. If you are using actual cooking utensils with longer handles, however, this spoon rest falls short. The longer stem length of the spoons do not allow the bowl of the spoon to sit in the rest. Instead, the spoon tends to angle up and tip over, making a mess of your counter or stove top. A rather huge design flaw, I'd think. (And the fact it's cheaper plastic means you really shouldn't set it on your stove top but on the counter next to your stove which, again, kind of defeats the purpose, eh?)

remote

question: What controls the fan?, context: I've owned the Lasko tower fan with remote control for nearly four years now. I use it every day in the summer and spring. I've never had to change the batteries in the remote in all that time, and it works as well now as it did on the first day of use. The base had to be installed on the fan when it was taken out of its box. My husband did that and said it wasn't hard. I've used all the various settings on the fan, including oscillation, and it works quietly on all settings. I've used it in both my home office and in my bedroom, and I ended up keeping it in my my bedroom because its 40-inch height allows the air it blows to easily reach a person lying on a bed. Also, if I get cold in the middle of the night, the fan's remote allows me to turn off the fan without having to get up.In spite of its height, the fan is light and easy to move. It has an indented hand-hold at its top which makes it easy to pick up the fan and move it from room to room or store it in the garage during the winter.Based on my experience with this fan, I would be happy to purchase another one just like it if the need ever arose.

roll-up travel bags

question: which type of bags does the reviewer not like?, context: I do like this set of bags very much.the best bags -size Large and Medium. then Extra Large -very good for the bed stuff. Jumbo Cube -too big, I didn t use it.not yet. the vacuum- seal is amaizing. and so fast. but roll-up travel bags I don t like it at all. that is why I rate only 4 stars. when you put the things inside this travel bag ,then you have to roll it.its not easy,the air doesn t go out .and you have to do it for long time to make it look ok and put it in to your suitcase. i send some clothing to my sister,and I used the Medium vacuum-seal flat bags, the size was so small,it was amazing how many things i put in. I think I will buy them again,only this time I will try to find 2 sizes -Large and Medium

Jumbo Cube -too big, I didn t use it.not yet. the vacuum- seal is amaizing. and so fast. but roll-up travel bags I don t like it at all. that is why I rate only 4 stars. when you put the things inside this travel bag ,then you have to roll it.its not easy,the air doesn t go out .and you have to do it for long time to make it look ok and put it in to your suitcase. i send some clothing to my sister,and I used the Medium vacuum-seal flat bags, the size was so small,it was amazing how many things i put in. I think I will buy them again,only this time I will try to find 2 sizes -Large and Medium

no cracks or issues so far

question: Is it easy to damage?, context: I have struggled with space in tiny cabinets for years. I just wound up digging through tons of canned goods, wound up loosing small things and was generally unhappy about the whole situation. This worked out beautifully, especially the bottom portion which is large enough for full sized canned goods (10>16oz type). The top portion because of how small my cabinents are, doesn't hold a lot but I use it for holding things like cans of Tuna, small jars of preserves, toothpicks and etc. It holds a lot more than th picture implies, which is a good thing my book.It's not especially strong palstic, but so far it been holding up well. I've had it for a handful months and no cracks or issues so far.

instant oatmeal

question: What food does the writer pack into their suitcase for travel?, context: I like to throw this in my suitcase for when I travel, together with a collapsible bowl and instant oatmeal. That way, I don't have to eat out all my meals when I'm on the road :)The bamboo utensils are super cute, and I liked the fabric wrap thing it came with as well, it's a nice touch and works well to keep the utensils from rolling around in your luggage.The knife is not super sharp (hey, it's made out of wood...!) but I cut a banana with it once and it worked. I don't think you can cut a loaf of bread or something with it, but spreading stuff on bread or cutting something softer, like baked fish, should be fine.I'm not sure I need all the spoons it came with but it's nice to be able to share with a friend, I guess :)So far I've only used it for traveling where I stayed over at hotels/hostels, but I'm sure it'll be equally useful for camping.Overall, I'm very pleased with the product, and I'd definitely purchase again!

11 pounds

question: What is the max the scale can weight?, context: I can never have too many scales in my kitchen. This is one of my favorite scales because it's so reliable. I weigh a lot of my ingredients, especially when I'm baking gluten free goodies, so it's important to have a good scale on hand. This Kitchen Gurus scale is easy to read with its high contrast LCD display. It also allows to tare/zero out weight as needed. The scale also measures out grams, ounces, fluid ounces and kilograms. And I like how it's easy to clean and made of durable tempered glass that can hold up to 11 pounds.

mother

question: who does the writer feel could have told them about these pans sooner?, context: I wish i had had a mother to tell me about these pans. I would never have wasted years on cheap pans. These are gorgeous. Heats evenly - no hot spots, no twisting - stays absolutely flat, a breeze to clean-up - even burned food! And best of all, cooks up nice, crispy, bacon. Perfect everytime! I never knew a sheet pan could make a difference... :/

Amazon

question: Where were these bought?, context: All the other ads included lids. If you look at the packaging photo, there's lids on it. If you look CLOSER, you'll see there are no lids included. So when you think you have a good deal, you actually don't. So I ordered the lids separately only to find that if I had gotten the ones that came with lids, I would have saved money. The pitfalls of shopping on Amazon I guess. On the plus side, the cups are just fine and the lids do fit and don't leak. The best part is, as Americans, we can exercise our God-given right to use and toss. I'm cheap, so I rinse and re-use. LOL.

soak them in water

question: What can one not do with these pans?, context: I haven't used these trays very much yet but they have worked well so far. I used them to cook frozen pizzas and they have come out nicely. However, be very careful when you wash these trays! If you've never owned a product like this before you might not realize that you absolutely CANNOT soak them in water. If you do, water seeps in between the layers of the tray and it is very difficult to recover from this. You can attempt to dry them out in the oven, but that typically only works with a small amount of damage. Unfortunately, I lost one of my trays to this mistake! My advice is just to be careful when you wash them. They also don't do well in the dishwasher so you really do need to wash them by hand. They're good quality, but you have to treat them carefully if you want them to last.

India

question: What country does the cup remind the author of?, context: This is a beautiful, solid, stainless steel cup. I was searching for a stackable set of stainless steel cups for holding cold beverages, and this fit the bill to a T.These remind me of the stainless cups they use in India for water.There are no "indentations" on the side. The image makes it look like there might be.We've been using ours in the dishwasher for the past 2 months, and there have been no ill effects.Another product to consider if you want dishwasher safe stainless steel, but would like some insulation, isBodum Stainless Steel 16-Ounce Vacuum Travel Mug with Black Silicone GripThat mug is NOT stackable.For outdoor use, I prefer:Thermos Stainless-Steel 22-Ounce Leak-Proof Hydration Bottle. It is spill proof, has better insulation, and built like a tank, but it is NOT dishwasher safe.

Pinzon

question: What was the brand of the throw that the reviewer received?, context: I just received my Pinzon throw today. This is my first review out of hundreds of products I have bought from Amazon or elsewhere. First of all it is throw size, not a blanket. I have been using a Liz Claiborne throw for years that was very soft and very big. It was also in boring beige. I bought the red color to give my chair a little spice. The color is gorgeous. A true jewel red. It is even softer and thicker while feeling a little lighter than my big LC throw. Maybe due to the smaller size. I had read other reviews that said it smelled and must be washed immediately. It did not smell but I thought I should wash it first, according to previous reviews. It says to wash it separately, well I didn't do that ,but I did wash it with other red items and a few white rags, and other items I was willing to risk. It came out of the wash without leaving any color on even the white items. It came out of the dryer nice and fluffy. I just remember I forgot the dryers sheets. Buy it for yourself and others. Can't beat the red color for a Christmas gift. Leave the boring beige for another purchase.

Sturdy, functional, effective

question: What are three words used to describe the pan?, context: Good thing it's so sturdy because in my first attempt the dough rose so well with the oven-spring it squeezed out of the end of the lid like tooth paste. The dough that squeezed out actually baked on the stone and was like eating crust when I tried a little taste (not too bad, actually).With the bread completely baked, the lid slid off with no problem even though it was under a bit of pressure from my overloading. The bread slipped right out of the pan with no assistance. I just sprayed a little PAM in the pan and lid for for greasing. The loaf was thoroughly baked (200F), the crust was good, and the bread tasted great.Sturdy, functional, effective and made in the USA. I have no regrets with this purchase.

the end is too flexible

question: What problem can prevent being able to scrape out peanut butter?, context: I bought this to replace my tiny spatula which had cracked (you know the one you get in the set of three that's super small), and I realized that you always need a small spatula or scraper on hand to scrape out jars. After reviewed a billion reviews, I settled on this one because it seemed to have the force needed to scrape things out, it's small enough to get into narrow jars, and it is one-piece construction. This is great. You basically get two products for the price of one. Although it's rather tall, it has one end that is very narrow and can pretty much fit into any jar. This small head is more rigid so you'll have no problems scraping out a jar with it (other products' reviews noted that if the end is too flexible it can't scrape out a jar of peanut butter; with this one, you'll be fine). The other end is wider - so it won't necessarily fit in a small jar - but it is a nice more flexible type spatula which I find perfect for spreading things. It's also nice to have two ends clean because you can just flip it without having to wash another spatula or get your "project" messy from the first jar you scraped. The cherry is a pretty, very slightly hot pinkish red (some might not see any pink in there, but I do). The quality looks very nice. It is one piece construction so you don't have to worry about water getting between the handle and spatula head and not drying out properly. I would buy this again in a heartbeat and strongly recommend it.

nice for personal items

question: What does the author use the bottom drawers for?, context: I purchased this Queen Size Platform Bed over a year ago and have taken it apart 3 times due to moving. As with any pressed board furniture quality can well suck. I have to say even after 3 moves, this bed has held up fairly well. It is by no means looking new anymore, and I may replace it in the near future, but I would imagine if the bed was not moved often and built well the first time, this platform bed would last for many years. The drawers on the bottom are nice for personal items. Overall I have enjoyed this bed, and would recommend due to its price and durability.

Just throw the bowl and the paddle in the dishwasher

question: How do you clean it?, context: The color that I chose was amazing, and I believe it's a MUST for every family to have. It simply makes baking easy and fun. Also, it's so convenient as far as cleaning. Just throw the bowl and the paddle in the dishwasher. Plus, this machine doesn't make noises. Simply FANTASTIC!

5 to 8 seconds

question: How long does the guide say it should take to measure the temperature of meat?, context: I am by no means a grilling expert, so I'll keep this short and sweet.Does it work, yes. It tells the temperature of any piece of meat I have on the grill. It also comes with a handy sleeve that contains a guide to how hot meat should be cooked. The writing on it is fairly small, so bring your glasses!Measuring- this thermometer seems to take forever!! It claims 5 to 8 seconds, but I literally almost burned my hand and dropped it in the process while waiting to read the temperature over a 400+ degree grill. It does the job, but not very well, in my opinion.

two years

question: How long has the writer been using the machine?, context: After using lesser juicers for a couple of years (you can see my reviews of them on amazon) I saw this machine at a store and bought it from amazon. I've been blown away! The best juicer ever. So powerful! Oranges come out bone-dry, every drop of juice goes into the glass. I squeeze fresh orange juice every morning, and I am sure I am saving at least $1 a day because this machine is so much more efficient than all my previous ones. I buy fewer oranges to get the same couple of glasses of juice. At this rate, the machine will pay for itself 100% in 4-5 months. The unit is sturdy, good-looking, quiet, easy to wash. A fantastic piece of home technology!PS - here we are, two years later, and I am still using this machine every day. It is a simple and effective piece of technology. Several friends have bought identical units after seeing me use mine - and they all love it. I wish all gadgets worked as well as this one!

My sandwich was perfect and delicious.

question: Did the reviewer like the sandwich?, context: I received it yesterday and used today. After reading all the pro and con reviews, this is how I made my sandwiches. I pre-made Grand Flaky biscuits. I heated up the unit, lightly sprayed buttery Pam. As unit was warming up, I gathered my ingredients... eggs, shredded cheddar cheese, frozen pre-cooked sausage patties and biscuits. I warmed 2 frozen sausage patties in the microwave for 1 minute while machine was still heating up.I added biscuit bottom and sausage, then added my egg and cooked for 4 minutes. In the last minute, I added my cheese on top of sausage, lastly I added the top of my biscuit on the egg.My sandwich was perfect and delicious. My Biscuits were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. My egg did not leak from the machine and it was easy to take apart and wash in hot sudsy water, dried and re-assembled.

waffle maker

question: What is this review about?, context: I recently purchased this waffle maker after using a cheaper one made by a different company. I was very satisfied to find that the waffles turned out light and fluffy; the baking of the waffle was very even and the time short (only 3:30 min for two). I realize this waffle maker is a little pricey but well worth it after you've had no success with cheaper alternatives. This is a commercial quality product that is very sturdy and well manufactured. It is easy to use and makes exceptional waffles when paired with the Golden Malted Pancake & Waffle FlourGolden Malted Pancake & Waffle Flour, Original, 33-Ounce Cans (Pack of 3).

6 months

question: How often does the user use the product?, context: I use different temps for different coffees and teas. The Bonavita heats quickly and accurately. The price was great and after 6 months of daily morning and night use it has held up very well. I have resisted the impulse to use the spout as a second handle. It would seem a bad idea, but it's very tempting. The handle is well designed with a nice little projection on the inside to keep it from slipping through one's hand as the pot is tilted. A thoughtfully designed unit - they even include a plastic button cover for highly spill prone uses or users.

xmas

question: When were the items purchased for employees?, context: I bought one for myself and loved it so much I purchased more for my employees for xmas. They all use them and love them. They are buying more for their family members and even buying baby bottles from the same company. I think these are a must for everyone. If you care about yourself and you care about what is or isn't in your drink. No chemicals seeping into your water and whatever this outside is made of is amazing. The whole thing goes into your dishwasher and comes out sparkling clean. I would however, advise that you take the rubber seal out of the cap and rinse before using it out of the dishwasher or wash the rubber seal by hand. BTW, noticed that the ones with the drinking spout are more popular than the ones without. Fabulous bottle and you will love it. I highly recommend to anyone.

EZ cup

question: What did this person buy?, context: I initially had a hard time getting a good and consistant cup of coffee from the EZ cup. To be honeset, I didn't buy the EZ cup because it was ecofriendly, or even because it would cost less per cup. I bought it because I love a good cup of coffee. They are few and far between when using K-cups, and even with all of the blends available in K-cups, there were some I liked that I still just couldn't get. I wanted this to wok, so I followed another reviewer's recommendations and cut the bottom off of a K-cup. This was to slow the flow of coffe through the device. Unlike the other reviewer, I didn't find that a 3/8" disk did anything, so I experimented. I wound up with a plastic disk that was cut just inside the protruding rim that you find on the bottom of each K-cup. It seems to slow the flow enough to strengthen the brew. I also used 2 TBSP of coffee per cup. I am getting a great consistant cup of coffee. I can make it allot stronger which is one of the reasons that I have a problem with K-cups. I used the EZ cup filter with fresh ground coffee. I agree that the EZ Cup spring tamps down the coffee and it seems to work better with more coffee and the plastic K-cup disk. Now I finally can get a strong cup of coffee regardless of whether a dark or lighter roast. I really think this has made the difference between a convenient coffee maker with mediocre coffee and a great cup of coffee. I hope you find this review helpful.

They are few and far between when using K-cups, and even with all of the blends available in K-cups, there were some I liked that I still just couldn't get. I wanted this to wok, so I followed another reviewer's recommendations and cut the bottom off of a K-cup. This was to slow the flow of coffe through the device. Unlike the other reviewer, I didn't find that a 3/8" disk did anything, so I experimented. I wound up with a plastic disk that was cut just inside the protruding rim that you find on the bottom of each K-cup. It seems to slow the flow enough to strengthen the brew. I also used 2 TBSP of coffee per cup. I am getting a great consistant cup of coffee. I can make it allot stronger which is one of the reasons that I have a problem with K-cups. I used the EZ cup filter with fresh ground coffee. I agree that the EZ Cup spring tamps down the coffee and it seems to work better with more coffee and the plastic K-cup disk. Now I finally can get a strong cup of coffee regardless of whether a dark or lighter roast. I really think this has made the difference between a convenient coffee maker with mediocre coffee and a great cup of coffee. I hope you find this review helpful.

the tapered sides make it too small for any burner location

question: Does the saucepan fit a Corning stove top burner?, context: Swiss Diamond is my very favorite cookware. I would have the whole collection if I could afford it. I bought this saucepan to replace a different brand the same size, 2.5 qts. I was disappointed to find that the tapered sides make it too small for any burner location on my Corning stove top. I could use it, even though there is a good amount of "red" showing around the pan bottom when the heating element is turned on, but this is not recommended by the stove manufacturer. I guess it didn't click in when I saw the photo, that the sides were slanted instead of straight like my older pan. I can still use this in the oven, as they work great for that, but may just end up giving it to a relative with appropriate size stove burners.

don't puff up

question: Do the burgers rise up in the middle?, context: This patty press is just perfect. You can't beat the price. It cleans up in a snap. We make 1/4 lb. and 1/2 lb. burgers without much effort. The bottom part has a piece that lifts out, so you don't have to worry about the burgers sticking. The bottom piece impresses a dimple into the burgers, so they cook more evenly and don't puff up in the middle. The shape is perfect and fits nicely on the bun. One thing we discovered by trial and error is: if you are using the patty papers for freezing, don't put the paper in the press. Press out your burgers first, then layer the papers in between the burgers to prevent sticking when frozen. When you put the paper into the press, the paper gets embedded into the meat and it is very difficult to peel the paper off of the frozen burger.

The little loop

question: What feature on the strainer help to keep you from spilling your food?, context: I bought this to replace an old strainer I had used for years that had belonged to my Mother. This OXO strainer was the closest I could find to what I had been using. It seems very well made and the mesh is secure in the handle and does not push out on the sides which will keep food from catching up under the rim.This is actually nicer than I expected it to be, I like it. It will be used for straining seeds out of fresh squeezed lemon/lime juices, pulp from making almond milk, and for any of the smaller jobs that don't require a larger strainer. The little loop on the end helps this balance on bowls making it easy to pour your food without spilling. The handle has a nice grip that doesn't get hot and is easy to hold. I have no doubt that this will last for years.

set the cooktop to &#34;warm&#3

question: What lessons the beeping noise?, context: This induction cooktop cuts down on boiling time about half from what it takes on my electric range. No complaints there. The problem for me with this cooktop is its incessant beeping. You take a pot off the surface from where it's been boiling to pour some water into your cup, and it beeps immediately until you put it back down. It does a little better if you set the cooktop to &#34;warm&#34; instead of leaving it on regular cooking/boiling modes, but then it'll only give you about ten seconds of having the pot off the surface before it beeps at you to demand you put it back down. Some days I move slowly, and get beeped/yelled at a lot by this cooktop. It's not a soft, friendly beep either, it's similar to a smoke alarm kind of beep that makes your heart race to hear it. I'd rather get a different induction cooktop that's a bit friendlier and doesn't beep at me so much.

$50

question: How much did the author pay for the two piece shaker?, context: The shaker itself is great, but the scale should read up to at least 16 oz.In contrast, I have a cheap Boston shaker with a rubber gasket that costed $10 at BevMo, and it has a scale that reads up to 16 oz.Not everyone makes 3 oz martinis.I'm an ice junkie. I need all my beverages ice cold, whether it's iced tea or iced coffee. Whatever I drink, I love using a Boston shaker to get the job done.While the seal mechanic itself is great, it's a shame that the company only makes this model for 10 oz...Forgiving if it was $20, but for a $50 two-piece shaker, it's a deal breaker because you expect so much more. Not to mention, the accompanying strainer costs an additional $23...So far, I've yet to come across a quality shaker like this model that has a 16 oz scale for convenience and practicality. I don't wanna bust out a measuring cup/shot glass/jigger everytime I'm gonna drink something... 'cause I literally shake at least six drinks at various times of the day.

fondue pot

question: What kind of product is being reviewed?, context: Ok here is a review you can count on as I have been preparing fondue for many many years now and I thought I would give this make a try. BIG mistake at least for oil cooking such as beef and chicken. The Cuisinart heats quicker and cooks much better even though they are the same wattage. The Trudeau has a fork holder/splatter ring that is way too big and leaves little room for cooking even for just two people. Four people cooking would be a mess. It is better for cheese or chocolate compared to Cuisinart though as it has the insert bowl to keep the cheese or chocolate from sticking, and is easy to clean up. The Cuisinart is a MUCH better overall fondue pot and for a LOT less money, plus it is dishwasher safe. The Cuisinart also has a non stick coating (great for oil cooking but not cheese) which is awesome. The only problem with the Cuisinart is the absence of an inner bowl insert for cheese and chocolate. The Trudeau is way overpriced for what you get. Think twice on this one.

rewards points

question: How did the reviewer obtain this product?, context: Got this with my rewards points when I signed up for a credit card. I was looking at a different Cuisinart one, but free is free. What I like about this is the chopper attachment, its what I have used the most, since I got this at the beginning of summer and haven't had the opportunity to use the immersion feature.I have used the chopper attachment to make salsa, guacamole, blend hot salsa verde, whipped cream, and chop various vegetables. I also used it to make my own Larabars, but after blending the dates and nuts for more than a couple minutes I could smell something overheating, and I could hear it lose power. I will still use it to make Larabars, but I will have to take breaks on it or something.I haven't been able to use the whisk attachment, I must be missing a piece, I have no idea how to attach it. Oh well.

to mostly prevent the dogs from scratching the leather

question: What was the reviewers aim?, context: I wish this review was more positive, I really do. We have four dogs in our house and we purchased a new leather sectional. Our aim was to mostly prevent the dogs from scratching the leather. While these do an okay job of covering the surface of the sofa and protecting it - the annoyance I experience is that because it's leather these protectors more or less slide down if you look at them wrong. It would be awesome if there was some sort of fastening system involved as well.I imagine that you won't have this problem when you're using these on cloth as they will stick much better, so if you've a cloth chair/sofa then you'll probably love 'em.

We have four dogs in our house and we purchased a new leather sectional. <hl> Our aim was to mostly prevent the dogs from scratching the leather . <hl> While these do an okay job of covering the surface of the sofa and protecting it - the annoyance I experience is that because it's leather these protectors more or less slide down if you look at them wrong. It would be awesome if there was some sort of fastening system involved as well. I imagine that you won't have this problem when you're using these on cloth as they will stick much better, so if you've a cloth chair/sofa then you'll probably love 'em.

three

question: How would this user change the design of the product?, context: The iron is light-weight, so it is easy to handle and maneuver. Also, the instructions are very simple and understandable, which is nice given that the iron has many functions. The steam feature has many different uses, including an upright steam capability. There are three different steam intensity settings depending on an item's fabric type. The compartment that holds the water for steaming is transparent, which allows me to predict the need to refill it, so I'll never be stuck without water in the middle of ironing. Overall, I am very happy with my iron as it is easy to use and does a great job.If I could change something about this iron, I would make the tip more narrow for increased precision. Also, it would be convenient if I didn't have to empty the water storage container after every use. Other than that, I am quite pleased!

vertical blinds

question: What is the writer going to replace?, context: I have an old home with vertical blinds that we've been talking about replacing for a few years, especially since several vanes were broken where they attach at the top.My handyman told me that Home Depot had repair kits (and they do, but contain extra hardware you may not need), but I never got around to addressing it.One day I'd had enough of these things falling down and Googled around and discovered these on Amazon.They are easy to apply and work perfectly.Some say they are a bit pricey for what they're made of, but the ease of use and sturdiness trumps that for me.I fixed over 10 vanes and they are all working perfectly (we have a LOT of vertical blinds).Great product!

2 weeks

question: How long has the user been using the thermos?, context: I've been using this for about 2 weeks. I love cold water, like water that's been refrigerated, don't like ice. But at work I wasn't able to keep my water cold so I always ended up grabbing a can of Coke (office keeps these in the frig). if I put a bottle of water in the frig, everyone would have helped themselves to my cold water. I figured a thermos might work. This Thermos keeps the water at least cool all 10.5 hours I'm at work (it does go from cold to cool as the day gets long but it's still cool enough) so I've kicked the Coke habit and have been drinking a lot more water. Except now I run out of water, drink it all, so now am thinking about getting a bigger Thermos. I like the strap handle. Keep forgetting that the screw in plug doesn't need to be completely removed to pour water, you just have to twist it a bit since the plug has a liquid-canal in it. I'm just happy with this guy. Thinking of buying a Thermos mug too so my water will always be cold.

every night

question: How often do I cook?, context: I cook every night for a family of 5. I recently acquired the Lodge Double Dutch 5 qt. dutch oven and fell in love with cast iron. I ordered this skillet thinking the bigger size would be good to cook for my large family and I was right, but when I say it's big I mean it's MASSIVE (and heavy!). I wiped it down with some flax seed oil and put it into my heated oven and it fit with very little wiggle room. It certainly will not fit in my cabinets so it will have to live on my stove-top which is just fine by me.A lot of reviewers have complained about the "rough" finish on the inside of the skillet. To me, it doesn't seem that rough. There is a definite texture to it but nothing that will totally destroy the integrity of your food, in my opinion. Don't let a little texture steer you away from buying this bargain-priced skillet - you can always season, season, season to get that smooth patina cast iron is renowned for.One thing to note is that the product picture indicates that there are two pour spouts between each handle. My skillet does not have the pour spouts. That's slightly disappointing but this skillet is so heavy that I doubt I will be able to gracefully pour anything out of this thing, pour spouts or not. Amazon should update its picture of the product.All in all, I am thrilled with my beast of a skillet. The size is great for my large family but if you aren't cooking for a bunch of people I think this skillet may be overkill for you. Try a 12-in or even a 10.5 in. skillet.Edit: I just received the 12-in rooster pan as a gift and I am thrilled! The rooster design adds a homey touch to our otherwise contemporary kitchen. I use the 15 inch skillet every day but it takes up so much room on my stovetop that it is difficult to cook two things at a time. Now I can easily use my 12 inch and 10.5 inch skillets on the stovetop while the big boy 15 incher is baking in the oven. I cannot get enough of cast iron!

extra features

question: What's makes this better than other single cup coffeemakers?, context: I purchased this after my daughter moved out. She likes K-cups, I like my own decaf brands of coffee. This way we can have both, kind of.It is very slow heating - takes four minutes for a cup of coffee. Not a problem, unless you want to brew two cups - with the two minute recommended wait, it takes ten minutes. So count this as strictly a single cup coffeemaker.I like the choice better than the Keurig - because you fill this with exactly the amount you have in your cup! No overflows, no problems. Pour it in, everything comes out.It has a nice small footprint and is perfect for me. But if all you want is a single cup, there are a lot out there that are cheaper and that will provide a single cup much faster. Only get this one if you need the extra features.

roll out

question: What is not easy to do?, context: I disagree that Wilton is easy to roll out - perhaps that was on an extremely hot day in a very humid house?! I can't tell you how crappy this fondant is to work with. it is so stiff. My husband and I tried it several times (thinking maybe at first we just got a bad box) we both sat with half the box each and worked it until our hands were sore to get it vaguely softened. Then I tried to roll it out, it was so stiff I was using my whole body weight to roll it. My husband rolled it out with difficulty. By the time you've managed to roll it thin enough (all that effort takes time) it has dried out and cracks as it folds over the cake. Terrible fondant. SATIN ICE is much much better, more pliable, easier to roll out and much nicer flavor. Wilton flavor is kinda ok, it's not discusting like some say but SATIN ICE is so much nicer and also comes in many different flavors like vanilla or buttercream - even chocolate! whereas Wilton comes in one fake flavor. Stay away from Wilton!!!!

induction motor

question: What kind of motor does it have?, context: Imagine kneading bread dough to perfection, in as little as 40 seconds! Its how I make FRENCH BREAD. I also make all my dinner rolls and sweet rolls in the Cuisinart (yum)!Easily mix cakes, quick breads, and piecrusts. Effortlessly chop, slice and shred food; you can even grind meat.Touch Pad: I love it's smooth, easy to clean and computerized touch pad.Buttons: (OFF, ON, Pulse and Dough) The dough button kneads bread to perfection in 30-40 seconds. Plus it features a powerful induction motor for HEAVY DOUGH. Note: Still ALWAYS only make 3 lbs. wheat dough (1 large loaf) even in this model. Wheat flour is twice as dense as white!Blades (4 total): This model uses two metal blades; with one for chopping, mixing, kneading dough (also for lighter dough recipes of 3 c or less white flour, particularly small wet sweet doughs). The other metal "dough" blade is for kneading the heavy dough recipes (anything over 4-6 cups of white flour or 3 cups wheat flour). There's also one 4mm slicing blade and a medium shredding blade (it's detachable stem fits either).Locking System: Here's where the PPP shines! :-) The improved lid and feed tube assembly (with it's safety locking system) is much easier to use (at least to figure out).Lid: Each Cuisinart includes a lid and 2 pushers (with a large feed and a smaller inner feed tube).If you want a "top of the line" food processor, for your smallest to larger needs, you won't be disappointed with this model! --Sharon AnneP.S.

There's also one 4mm slicing blade and a medium shredding blade (it's detachable stem fits either).Locking System: Here's where the PPP shines! :-) The improved lid and feed tube assembly (with it's safety locking system) is much easier to use (at least to figure out).Lid: Each Cuisinart includes a lid and 2 pushers (with a large feed and a smaller inner feed tube).If you want a "top of the line" food processor, for your smallest to larger needs, you won't be disappointed with this model! --Sharon AnneP.S.

Imagine kneading bread dough to perfection, in as little as 40 seconds! Its how I make FRENCH BREAD. I also make all my dinner rolls and sweet rolls in the Cuisinart (yum)!Easily mix cakes, quick breads, and piecrusts. Effortlessly chop, slice and shred food; you can even grind meat. Touch Pad: I love it's smooth, easy to clean and computerized touch pad. Buttons: (OFF, ON, Pulse and Dough) The dough button kneads bread to perfection in 30-40 seconds. <hl> Plus it features a powerful induction motor for HEAVY DOUGH. <hl> Note: Still ALWAYS only make 3 lbs. wheat dough (1 large loaf) even in this model.

retractable

question: What cord feature do we like about the vacuum?, context: I bought this for one purpose and that was to clean our screened in porch and then store it in a small tote on the porch, along with all the accessories. It has filled the bill precisely. It's small, compact, easy to pull around and has plenty of suction. We also like the retractable cord feature. Now we don't have to drag that big, bulky shop vac around and knock paint chips off the door frames when getting it out the garage. The other important item is the price, which is very reasonable. I didn't need to take out a loan to pay for it either and I wasn't paying for features I'd never use such as paint spraying, trying to suck up bowling balls through a 1 1/2" hose or mixing smoothies on the veranda. This is a great little vacuum for the price.

four

question: How many did they try?, context: I didn't want to splurge on a wooden wine rack so I decided to try four of these instead (buy 3 get 1 free deal from Amazon seemed like great value). If you want to use it on shelves in a closet it's not a bad buy. But it's not very attractive and stacking seems pretty dicey. If you want to stack them more than two high you will definitely need to anchor the sides to a wall. Two high works okay but requires zip ties for stability and even that makes me a little nervous. The plastic is the glossy kind that scratches if you look at it wrong and attracts every bit of dust and pet hair in the house. Since I didn't realize all its shortcomings until I had unpackaged all 4 and tried several configurations I guess I'm stuck with it for now, but eventually I'll find something better-looking and more stable...preferably wooden.

from walking on the counter while running

question: What do the suction feet keep the processor from doing?, context: For a &lt;$50 food processor this product is great! The suction cup feet are a bit odd but really thoughtful addition - almost acts like a third hand to keep the machine from walking on the counter while running. The shredding/slicing disk is a nice addition and helps make the food processor a little more handy! Has handled veggies, chicken, and making pesto with ease and dishwasher safe for easier cleanup.

Oster

question: What brand of product is the person reviewing?, context: Finally, an original thick Oster gasket as advertised and/or pictured. I ordered one of these (according to picture displayed which looked super-thick) from Goodmans and got the cheap thin plastic one. I emailed them about it they apologized and said they would send me the correct one. So they went and sent me another cheap thin plastic flimsy one which of course ended up cracking. I think they meant well but you can certainly tell the difference between the real authentic original and the newer skimpy made ones and not necessarily by the 5 star or 6 star shape. Most of the cheap ones have 6 but I do have a cheap flimsy one with only 5 sticking out. This one is super thick and hard plastic. You'll know when you pick it up and feel the weight and texture that it's the real deal...

much flimsier

question: Compared to the photo, how does the product seem?, context: After initial puzzlement I figured out how to put it together and it was not easy. I am stubborn so I got it to work. However it is much flimsier than I imagined from the photo. It was not good looking enough to put where I originally wanted it. It does not fit cleanly into a corner angle and is so light weight that a bump dislodges it. However I did have another corner in the back of the room where it could live and look ok so there it stays. I had not realized that it was only a thin wicker front. The support rods are very difficult to get together so I would never take the cloth bag out because of its snug fit which is what actually holds everything together. I will use it but I do not recommend that anyone else purchase it. Use your $ to put toward some other basket type or the mesh fold-ups.

one review

question: How man reviews are they gonna write on the pans?, context: I am only writing one review on these pans. They are so much easier than the old spring for pans with the clamp on the side. I ordered all three sizes -- the eight, nine, and ten-inch pans. Have used only the ten inch- one and given the eight-inch one to a grand daughter. Still have the nine-inch new in the box. This is absolutely a great product. I bake the cheese cake in it without the foil wrap in the water bath. It does not leak and is SO easy to remove the ring when ready. I'm so glad I &#34;sprung&#34; for it.

heavy-duty

question: For which kind of work has this wok been designed?, context: I am just amazed at this wok! I had just bought an electric wok this spring and while I like it (I think I reviewed it...) this Chefs Toolbox wok is much, much better quality.First, the wok is heavy-duty and has a top-of-the-line feel and look to it. If you wanted to give someone a wok as a Christmas or wedding gift, a moving out present..this would impress! It's also something that will probably last decades with proper care. (Be sure to wash it with hot, hot soapy water before that first use, as with any cookware.) The cooking area goes from the flatter/bottom area of 7 inches to the top of the wok coming in at 14.5. The sides are pretty sloped. The handles have a nice, slightly brushed look to them and they are super solid. There is no fear of losing a handle or having trouble gripping these. I also love the flatness of the main part of the handle, it just feels nice, looks good, gives a professional quality.The steamer..dang..it is HUGE! If you like to steam ANYTHING at all, this is the way to go! As soon as I opened it I thought, wow!! I can toss all my old (broken, bent etc) cheap steamer baskets and use this to steam crab legs!! Yay! I just can't think of anything you could not steam with this. The base/cooking area is 14 inches, can you believe it!? The only thing is you could not use it for anything too small or fragile (like broccoli) because the holes themselves are big enough to easily put a pencil through. You could use foil to place food on though, if you wanted to.The lid is clear, a major improvement over most woks. I've actually never seen one with a clear lid before, so this will allow you to see your food without letting out heat. A nice feature.The only possible drawback is that it's rather heavy. My electric wok is super light, but in the end, it feels like a cheap kitchen item compared to this. The Chefs Toolbox's weight makes it feel like what you paid for it. Again, this would make a great gift and a super addition to any kitchen.Sheri Gill

melted butter

question: The baked items should be brushed with what?, context: I am a silicone pan convert. I still love my metal pans and continue to buy them like mad, but I'm no longer afraid of the silicone.These are individual muffin or cupcake pans, about the same size as one cavity in a standard 12-cup metal muffin pan. They have lovely large and deep scalloped sides which make the cupcakes or muffins look delightful when popped out of the baking pan. These are cute served with either end up. If you're glazing or serving with a sauce, the smaller end up (bottom) looks great, and if you're frosting them with swirls of fluffy frosting, then serve them in the more traditional manner.I find I need to turn the oven heat down about 25 degrees when cooking in silicone, I bake them on a cookie sheet spaced a few inches apart, and it's important to let the baked items cool in the pans. They will be too tender and soft to come out in one piece if you try to remove them while they are still hot.Brush with melted butter or spritz with non-stick spray for the first use, and it won't be necessary after that. I wash these by hand, just because it's easy, though they are dishwasher safe. They stack nicely and don't take up much space. I probably need a second set!

If you're glazing or serving with a sauce, the smaller end up (bottom) looks great, and if you're frosting them with swirls of fluffy frosting, then serve them in the more traditional manner.I find I need to turn the oven heat down about 25 degrees when cooking in silicone, I bake them on a cookie sheet spaced a few inches apart, and it's important to let the baked items cool in the pans. They will be too tender and soft to come out in one piece if you try to remove them while they are still hot.Brush with <hl> melted butter <hl> or spritz with non-stick spray for the first use, and it won't be necessary after that. I wash these by hand, just because it's easy, though they are dishwasher safe. They stack nicely and don't take up much space. I probably need a second set!

suction

question: What kind of power does the vacuum have a lot of?, context: This vacuum is so superior to dustbusters(I have owned too many to count).It actually has lots of suction power and the battery stays charged for a good long time. I do not leave the unit on the charger..(I think this wears down the battery faster)and only charge it when it sounds like it is getting low...downside...it is a bit tough to remove from the charger unit and I wish the tool storage was a bit more permanent...they just sit there and get knocked off easily...but using this vacuum has been easy and it is great to know that it will do a good job when called on....pet hair, crumbs, sand, etc.....

vacuum

question: what were they excited to try?, context: I was very excited to try out this vacuum. For the most part it does well, but I have a few concerns:1. The cord is too short. Most vacuums allow me to plug in the middle of the house and do most of the house. This one does not.2. I hadn't had a canister vacuum for years. Now I know why. This would have been a much better vacuum as an upright.3. I don't like the sanitizing. It feels like nothing is happening. I don't know how you would know if you went over it enough or not.4. The dirt cup is not very big. We have a lot of dog hair, and while it picked it up great, I was always emptying the cup.It picks up well and isn't too loud. I just wish at least the cord was longer and the dirt cup was bigger, if they didn't make it an upright.

Breville

question: What brand mentioned is complimented most?, context: If you can find a toaster oven better than the Breville buy it and let everyone know what it is!!! I've had mine 3 years now so I know what I'm talking about, it replaced a Toast Master convection oven I had for 15 years, tells you how good that Toast Master was. I read these reviews and I wonder why sometimes people submit a review without really knowing the product. This oven is better that the GE big oven in my kitchen and takes 15% less time and probably 30% less electricity. I've cooked chickens to perfection, blueberry pecan bread to die for, steaks rare to well done, toast that my very expensive Kitchen Aid toaster would be proud of and all of this in a little compact powerful machine. It's got its own brain so if yours isn't working quite right it will keep you on track, does not heat up your kitchen, is stainless steel and you get what you paid for. I've given 3 of these away and everyone loves this unit. Thanks Breville your are the best.

blender is rather loud

question: What was expected of this blender?, context: ...... we found that it is not as powerful as we expected. The blender works better if &#34;frozen&#34; fruits are thawed first and fresh fruit, etc are cut / sliced into smaller bits and crushed ice instead of cubes. Harder items should be added first another with some type of liquid before softer items otherwise the blade just spins. Don't overload the blender! The blender does what it says it will do, providing you follow the instructions and enjoy &#34;thinner&#34; smoothies. This blender is rather loud but expected.

closer to the center

question: What side of the toast was darker?, context: I have ordered and returned several toasters because they did not toast evenly across the slice. Some were considerably more expensive than this one. This one seems pretty even, but it did toast one side of the bread side darker than the other. The side closer to the center was darker--however, it was within my standards for eating on both sides (but barely on the darker side). I will be keeping it as I am tired of the search for a good toaster, and at least this one is even.One feature toasters seem to never have now is the option for one slice. Older toasters could sense if you had only one slice in and would heat only the coils on that side (it was always a specific side--it would only sense this happening if it was in the correct slot). I suspect that is what this one needs, and the fact that it is heating coils on both sides even though I have only one slice of bread in is why it is darker on the bread side closer to the center of the toaster.I cannot comment on the longevity as I have only had it a few days.

question: How many pillow cases did the author put in the box?, context: This is an attractive storage box made of wide-weave papery fabric. The see-through window is clear and flexible. The box was packed flat and arrived in two pieces: one is the entire box including the lid which is attached at the back; and the second piece is a firm, flat insert for the bottom of the box. It goes together in seconds. I filled the large-size box to capacity with flannel sheets: two queen flat, two queen fitted & four pillow cases and was able to tightly close the lid. InterDesign makes a variety of storage options, all of which seem to be reasonably priced. Mixing and matching the various containers seems like an easy way to organize a closet so that it stays tidy and looks great. I got this one for free in order to write an honest review, but I am going to buy more.

question: This will save you a lot of what, in the long run?, context: I grew up with my mom making this for me as a snack after school. Not that I'm all "grown up" and moved out on my own, I still make all of my popcorn using this! It much healthier than the bagged microwave popcorns, all you need is a little veggie oil on the bottom and add the popcorn kernels and you're good to go! Makes the perfect popcorn in my opinion. This will save you a lot of money in the long run as well only having to buy the kernels, microwave popcorn bags can add up. I won't use anything else to make my popcorn snack, when friends come over they ask for me to make this because they love it so much! It makes a lot in one batch, so it's sure to be a crowd pleaser!

with an O2 absorber

question: What do they store with it?, context: I use these mylar bags to buy in bulk at Sam's Club and Costco, then store it in mylar with an O2 absorber to give the product long shelf life. The great thing is with these bags you can store a reasonable amount of an item like flour or beans and when you break the seal you don't really have more on hand than you can reasonably use before it goes bad. You can store all types of things other than food in these too. In a situation where something might rust, mold, or otherwise decay you can toss it in one of these bags with an O2 absorber and seal it up, knowing that it will be the same when you need it next.

filter water through my emergency 5-gal bucket water storage contraption

question: Why did they buy it?, context: I bought this product a while ago! However, I just want to let people know, I really like it. I bought it to filter water through my emergency 5-gal bucket water storage contraption. Thank you, Youtube! Anyway, it does a great job of pulling out impurities in the water, and the result tastes great. In an emergency situation, like if there was flooding and possible viral water contamination, I might still boil the water to kill anything that miraculously slipped through the small pores of this candle, but otherwise, I would drink it straight after the filter. It takes out ALL sediment, so you will not be drinking any floaties. If the water was really dirty, I would pre-filter it through sand or cloth first before running it through this though. It is a fine filter, and would clog if challenged with too much debris.This filter required patience. Water doesn't pour through ceramic. However, that's why it works so well.Hint: I purchased two of these, and one was filtering water at a much slower rate that the other. So, I dried it out completely, sanded it down gently, and rinsed/wiped it down before reinstalling it. Worked so much better! I think that this process would be good as maintenance if the filter was used regularly.

It is a fine filter, and would clog if challenged with too much debris.This filter required patience. Water doesn't pour through ceramic. However, that's why it works so well.Hint: I purchased two of these, and one was filtering water at a much slower rate that the other. So, I dried it out completely, sanded it down gently, and rinsed/wiped it down before reinstalling it. Worked so much better! I think that this process would be good as maintenance if the filter was used regularly.

I bought this product a while ago! However, I just want to let people know, I really like it. <hl> I bought it to filter water through my emergency 5-gal bucket water storage contraption . <hl> Thank you, Youtube! Anyway, it does a great job of pulling out impurities in the water, and the result tastes great.

I would go with the 20 oz. Just easier to fill and mix with that little extra few ounces

question: What additional information does the customer add?, context: Use this cup at work and it is great. Keeps the drinks cold and yet keeps the outside not so it is easy to hold. It is made to fit nicely in the cup holder of your car, which is great for he drive back and forth. The lid screws on nicely and has a good seal. If you like green and need a cup to keep your drinks cold for work then this is great.My only gripe is it only came in the 16oz size only at the time of purchase. Would love to see it in a 20oz size.This item shouldn't be put in the dishwasher. It is worth it to take the extra 30 seconds to just wash and rinse it in the sink by hand.Edit: (4/19/2012)Just wanted to add this in case people are trying to decide on size. If you use those drink mixes, especially the Crystal Light packages, I would go with the 20 oz. Just easier to fill and mix with that little extra few ounces. This will work as well, but you have to fill it to the brim for the 16oz and it can make stirring a little annoying. Not a knock against the cup, just added info in case that was one of the uses.

high contrast

question: What makes the LCD display so bright?, context: I can never have too many scales in my kitchen. This is one of my favorite scales because it's so reliable. I weigh a lot of my ingredients, especially when I'm baking gluten free goodies, so it's important to have a good scale on hand. This Kitchen Gurus scale is easy to read with its high contrast LCD display. It also allows to tare/zero out weight as needed. The scale also measures out grams, ounces, fluid ounces and kilograms. And I like how it's easy to clean and made of durable tempered glass that can hold up to 11 pounds.

the cleaning and drying

question: which parts work well?, context: I bought this because I didn't want to get on my hands and knees and scrub floors..........no, the vacuum part does not work particularly well, but the cleaning and drying are nothing short of spectacular. I use the right detergent, I don't stint, and my results are impressive. I do six rooms and a hallway, all wood and tile, in about an hour. It fills the tank three times to get the job done. No back problems, no knee problems, and the little scrubbers do all the work. This jewel is about as heavy as a normal upright vacuum cleaner.....it takes maybe three minutes to thoroughly clean the tanks and filter when I'm done. Now my floors have that incredible squeaky clean feel for my bare feet.........I do my home once a month, with some manual touchups in the kitchen.

the bathtub drain

question: What does the author use the larger plug from the endurance set for?, context: I didn't notice when I signed the lease on my new apartment that there was no plug in the bathtub drain. Not a problem, I thought, I'll just buy something to keep the soap and hair from clogging the pipes. Well, after trying a flat disc (it just flipped sideways), the white rubber hat style (what a joke), the stick-on type drain cover (which stuck on so well I still can't get the residue off) and a &#34;stainless&#34; mesh strainer (which rusted and looked disgusting) --- this RSVP Endurance Set of 2 Strainers was worth the money spent! The larger one fits perfectly in the bathtub drain and actually works. It's easy to clean out too. I put the smaller one in the kitchen sink on the side that does not have the disposal and I can still fit the stopper on top of it if I want to fill the sink. Should have bought this set the first time. Live and learn.

question: How many stars did the author give the vacuum?, context: The vacuum has excellent suction and the flip out extension reaches narrow spots like the space between the accelerator and transmission tunnel in my Civic. Weight is not a problem and as expected given the power. Good idea to empty filter if using more than 3-4 minutes at a time. The only potential problem I see is the so called "memory effect" where repeated charging following only partial discharging causes the battery to remember the smaller charge. It isn't clear to me that the automatic charger avoids this problem; that's the reason for 4 stars. I'd buy it again.

Decent looking, seemingly accurate and consistent.

question: What was positive about this scale?, context: Positives: Decent looking, seemingly accurate and consistent. Basically, it performs its core task well. What kept it from a 5-star rating? A couple of things, which I will point out simply because this is a $30 scale and others might like to know:1. We intended for this to be a countertop scale (not wall-mounted). However, we soon discovered a design flaw: When folded up, the bottom of the scale no longer sits flat due to the protrustion of the hinge. This could have been easily overcome had the designers envisioned that people might NOT actually want to mount it on the wall. This sort of defeats the "space saver" element of the name.2. Thermometer is 2-4 degrees off. Again, not a big deal, but since there is a thermometer on it, I figured this deserved mention.

dog

question: What kind of animal does the vacuum work well for?, context: I love my Dyson. It's easy to empty and does a great job on the dog hair. You can see when the canister gets full. The only thing I don't really like is the way the tool attachments work. There is a pull out tube is used with the attachments (there are all the standard extras). It's kind of difficult to extend the hose although you can completely remove the long metal tube and use it without that. It can be a little clunky on the steps but the ease on the rest of the floor more than makes up for it.

Queen

question: What size is their mattress?, context: Bought this for our Olympic Queen mattress (which is a funny size to find bedskirts for) - and it works GREAT! I had a king size for years, but had to fold & pin it in the middle so it wouldn't fall to the floor - and still had to fix it all the time. This one works GREAT - it's off the floor but still keeps the stuff under the bed hidden. The color is really nice too - a nice navy blue. Maybe a tiny bit lighter than the color here (it looks almost black here, but in person is a true navy blue).

at least 2-3 times a week

question: How often did I use it at first?, context: Bought this in 2009, have used at least 2-3 times a week, now switched to using it all the time.Works well, produces great coffee.Read the other reviews about exploding (Hope it does not happen), and leaking steam - yes, this too leaks steam, if not screwed tight. I make sure to screw it tightBut so far works well. Frothing function degrades after a whileEvery cup is well worth the low cost.Update: Dead now, replaced with a DeLonghia) The coffee pitcher broke, could not get a replacement. Found another subst.b) The frother want clogged, stopped working, couldn't clean itc) Eventually, even the coffee stopped flowing, gave up and junked the machine.Still worth the price, thought of buying a replacement, instead bought a Delonghi 2 cup m/c (Rated no 1 on Amazon). Big mistake. This is better.

They are great in the microwave

question: Can these bowls be used in the microwave?, context: I actually think of this as 2 sets of bowls. The smallest bowls make great ingredient cups. I like to measure out ingredients into small bowls before mixing or cooking and line up the bowls in the order the ingredients will be used. This keeps track of my progress if I am interrupted and assures that I don't miss anything. The larger bowls are great for many things in the kitchen--mixing, defrosting, even informal serving. They are great in the microwave and don't break easily. My fingers aren't as reliable as they used to be and I have already dropped a couple of these and they didn't break when they hit the floor.

I like to measure out ingredients into small bowls before mixing or cooking and line up the bowls in the order the ingredients will be used. This keeps track of my progress if I am interrupted and assures that I don't miss anything. The larger bowls are great for many things in the kitchen--mixing, defrosting, even informal serving. They are great in the microwave and don't break easily. My fingers aren't as reliable as they used to be and I have already dropped a couple of these and they didn't break when they hit the floor.

It also has a scented filter

question: Why does it make the house smell better?, context: I have mixed emotions concerning this vacuum cleaner. I own a Dyson, well, 2 to be honest, so compared to the Dyson, it's no where near as powerful. However, it has attachments to clean the stairs and is very lightweight, which is nice. My younger children can maneuver it much more easily than the Dyson. It also has a scented filter you can use which makes the house smell good. The bagless canister is easy to empty. It is pretty loud when running though. It does suck up the dirt, which is it's main purpose, so in that area, it does well. So, overall, for me, it's just "ok" -nothing spectacular but good enough.

very difficult to grind the peppercorns

question: Is it easy to grind pepper?, context: I got one, and I am glad it was the green (it was the color I was rooting for) My husband became obsessed with black pepper after he met me (I used to coat everything in it) but he uses the crappy pepper that has zero flavor when we go out to eat. So I bought him this (and so I could secretly use it because stale pepper is a pet peeve of mine) Well it's cute, and it works, however it's very difficult to grind the peppercorns and really doesn't put much out. I pretty much have to grind for 5 minutes to get enough to speckle anything. Cute, but I think next time I will spring for the pricier one and hope it works better.

rubber seal

question: What did online reviews suggest moving downward?, context: I tried all of the different disposable products. Waisted like 60 bucks on all of them. Amazon was loving me. They ALL leak. I am back to regular manufacturer K-Cups or the My K-Cup (the one you can get in the store) (That's the only one that doesn't leak).I even went online and checked out the reviews that said to move the rubber seal down on the needle, it didn't work.Keurig is designed to brew with high pressure. To do that, you need an airtight seal. This doesn't provide that. That is why Keurig is not selling these in the store next to their machines.Specifically, I tried this with several different options. The My K-cup, the K-Caps to name a few. The flap that overhangs the cup wicks the water out of the K'cup when the machine applies water pressure and the coffee leaks over the side of the cup and all through the machine.
